My one-year old drake is going through his first molt and all of the feather loss that is happening appears to be normal, healthy, no issues there..... However, he doesn't seem to be regrowing the feathers he is shedding and I'm starting to become really concerned. He's literally shrinking...
Can anyone tell me what this is.…? It has progressively been getting worse over the course of the last 6 months or so. I am at a loss.. It doesn't seem to be causing her any discomfort from what I can tell, but it is definitely getting worse... Initially I thought maybe it was the onset of...

My call duck Beans just turned a year old this month and is currently going thru her first full molt.. I haven't had any experience with molting yet so this is new to me, but everything I've read so far tells me that the fact she has nearly completely stopped eating since her molting began...
Earlier today my call duck Beans started doing this, and I have no idea what to do or if it's even something to be concerned about!?! She made no sounds at all while she was doing this, and she finally stopped after about 15 minutes.... None of my duck have ever done anything like this and I'm...

This is my 9-week old call duck Beans. She, just like the Rouen I had before her, has recently become OBSESSED with eating my hair!! My Rouen Pepper used to go after my hair all the time (as well as my shoelaces and any strings she...
One of my ducklings appears very sick. He eats and drinks only when my other duck makes him, and no longer bathes or preens at all (previously his favorite thing). Whenever I pick him up, he does this:
He always appears sleepy and is displaying less and less energy/movement every day. He...
Two days ago I noticed my blue runner had a beak injury. Not broken, but bleeding slightly. I've been watching it closely and noticed today there is a significant amount of swelling, which I had expected. It doesn't seem to be creating any difficultly eating for my duck (my greatest concern)...
